I’m not much of a coffee drinker when it comes to drip brewed coffee. It’s bitter, and even with milk and/or sugar the average cuppa joe doesn’t do anything for me. My morning poison has been Orange Cappuccino from GFIC for 20 plus years, though I do like “regular” coffee if it’s made into something [...]

Here’s a short update on the scraps and bits that are the work in progress of life right now: I’m still working with the lighting in the new studio, trying to get enough of it where I need it. I’ve come to the conclusion that halogen spot lighting is essentially useless, at least it has [...]

ITMan had gone to bed a couple of hours earlier, but the cats were still up with me, and they followed me down to the bedroom like the dutiful dog-like creatures they’ve become. [...]
